Pastor of Congregational Care – Darcy Miller

Darcy was born and raised in Walnut Creek attended the University of Akron and worked as a Registered Dietitian for many years. While washing dishes during a church luncheon a spiritual brother challenged her to test if God was calling her into full time Christian Ministry. After a season of deep prayer and reflection, Darcy heard God calling her to get ready to take care of God’s people. At the age of 37, Darcy entered Ashland Theological Seminary, where she earned a Master of Divinity. God moved Darcy to West Virginia to serve in the Mennonite Central Committee SWAP program for two summers and then to Northeast Pennsylvania to serve three rural churches before calling her back to “the land of her fathers’” in Holmes and Tuscarawas County. Darcy founded Life Connect coaching in fall 2012 with a passion to help people discover their life purposes and walk in them throughout the changing seasons of their lives. Pastor Darcy Miller enjoys sharing the truth of God’s word in creative ways that helps the learner to immediately apply the lessons to their lives.

Church Secretary – Jeann Burkey

Jeann has been a member of Fredericksburg Presbyterian Church since 1992, and has served as church secretary since 1998. Although Jeann’s college degree was in the Natural Resources, she finds that working with the people who visit her office fits more closely with the call God has placed on her life. When not busy fulfilling her secretarial duties, Jeann spends time with her camera capturing shots of scenic Ohio. Jeann and her husband Larry live in Apple Creek, Ohio and enjoy hiking, picnicking and their grandchildren.
